- If you are thinking about moving to Richmond Virginia and want to know where to live you will love this video! In it we show you our 6 absolute favorite neighborhoods in locations all around Richmond Va. We cover both the suburbs around Richmond, and show you our favorite area in the city of Richmond too. You will get to see aerial drone footage, Go Pro videos, real estate information, the nearby amenities, AND the Pros & Cons of each neighborhood. So whether you are looking in Short Pump, Glen Allen, Midlothian, Moseley, Mechanicsville, or the City we have you covered!
We start with our favorite neighborhood of all, Hallsley. Hallsley is located in Midlothian and it is absolutely stunning. In Hallsley you will find many custom built craftsman style homes and amazing HOA provided amenities. Convenient shopping and dining is located along Midlothian Turnpike not too far away. The houses are gorgeous and the developer did a great job of keeping the natural green space throughout the community.
After that we show you Magnolia Green, which is our home away from home. Practically every week we are in Magnolia Green showing homes and it is because Magnolia Green is so popular. Magnolia Green is located in the Moseley area. There are tons of nearby shopping and dining located along Hull Street, BUT the traffic along Hull Street and geographic location of Magnolia Green is also the communities major con. Magnolia Green is a beautiful community and offers world class HOA amenities.
Next we take you north to Wyndham neighborhood in Glen Allen. Glen Allen is located just north of Short Pump and benefits from its proximity to everything located along W. Broad Street. Wyndham is practically Magnolia Green, just from the 90s. With a wide range of house sizes and prices there is something here for everyone. The cons related to the Wyndham neighborhood are all due to its age and the year built.
Next you will see our favorite spot in the city of Richmond, the Musuem District. This is one of the most exciting and walkable parts of Richmond with Carytown, Scott's Addition, and so much more just a walk or short bike ride away. If you are looking for historic homes with charm and character the Musuem District will deliver!
Back to the suburbs with Wellesley. Wellesley is located in the heart of Short Pump with what we think is the 2nd best location of the neighborhoods we cover in this video. Directly north of Wellesley is the Short Pump Towncenter, and tons and tons of shopping and dining right at your fingertips along either direction on W. Broad St. You will find beautiful, mature landscaping and sidewalks throughout the community. The cons to Wellesley are all related to its year built, but we think the pros far outweigh the cons.
We finish up in the northwest part of Mechanicsville with Giles Farm. Giles Farm is a brand new community that features very nice HOA amenities and because the homes are new construction you will find updated, open concept living. The Rutland shopping center is super close by, and the eastern most part of Glen Allen (Route 1) has nice commercial amenities close by too. It is a little cookie cutter, but that is to be expected with newer construction neighborhoods.

Nice video -- some of us -- including me -- got priced out and had to move out of state (4 months ago) for an affordable home (Tulsa is like what the Richmond area used to be). I am homesick but getting over it particularly when I see the prices. Thank you for the reality check.
I visited Short Pump and Richmond 2 years ago and loved it but who could afford to live there?
Gotta give a shout out to the french fries at Marty’s Grill, a stone’s throw from Giles Farm in Rutland. Definitely worth a stop next time you’re near Atlee. (No I don’t work there)
I've just started watching your videos and have been enjoying them! Thank you! What do you guys think about the Forest Hill/Westover Hills areas of Richmond? Just curious. Thanks!
Thank you! Forest Hill & Westover Hills has it's own mix of pros & cons. It truly comes down to what's important to you. Topping the Pro's list would be older, historic homes and architecture that you don't find outside of the city, proximity to the James River Park System, the city itself, Forest Hill Park, and some unique nearby attractions that aren't in the suburbs. I will say it is a very sought after area. The Con's are these are older homes with more expensive upkeep & utility bills, a higher crime rate than the suburbs, and school systems in the area aren't as highly rated as elsewhere. But that can pretty much be said for almost any city compared to a neighboring suburb. So like I said it comes down to where you place the weight of priority for you in each of those categories. Check out our Where To Live In The City Of Richmond Video: ruclips.net/video/Qkjzeg4Ht1w/видео.html We cover Forest Hill & Westover Hills in that.
Do you guys have any video on home renting? Would love to see a video on home renting as well
Renting wise the best we can do is our apartment videos, which were a nightmare to make. Trying to coordinate anything with the leasing agents was difficult and they didn't really seem to get what or why we were doing it. Sarah and I don't work the rental market and most Realtors in Richmond don't either. Property Managers rarely respond in a timely manner and they have no incentive to take the time to let us create such a video. Check out our House Tour videos to get an inside look into some homes there were for sale around Richmond.
@@LivingInRichmondVirginia Okay fully understand! keep up the good work
Curious on your thoughts about homes that still hardboard/Masonite siding and how much that should impact (I would assume lower) the home value. We are considering buying my in-laws’ home in Short Pump - great neighborhood (Church Run), about 3400 sqft, in great shape otherwise - but it seems like replacing the siding with Hardy or even vinyl will be insanely expensive.
Church Run is an amazing neighborhood, one of my agents actually lives there and she loves it! I try not to be too fatalistic about the siding. I want my buyers educated about what they are getting themselves into if they decide to purchase a home with hardboard/masonite siding, and at the end of the day it's how much ongoing maintenance do you want to perform. Something to keep in mind is that the siding is probably mostly original so it's possible to keep it in good condition and it's not something you would have to immediately replace. It will be very expensive to replace. Maybe get some quotes from 2-3 siding companies to see what that would look like, but if I loved everything else about the home it wouldn't stop me. I would just budget and plan for the eventual replacement because I don't want to constantly be caulking nail holes & seams, and painting/replacing boards. I would say you will get some value return but it won't be 100% of what you pay, because the buyer will appreciate the newer siding but it's more in line with an expectation of having nice siding from the start vs the reality of it could have been much worse if it wasn't new vinyl or hardiplank. I hope that last sentence made sense.

Apartment prices? Considering relocation costs, studio or one bedroom, thanks. 🌺
We did an apartment tour video series a while back to help provide some information on rentals in the areas around Richmond for our relocation clients. That said, Sarah and I don't work the rental market though, and in fact most agents don't because it's a fruitless endeavor as there aren't any commissions paid for helping clients find rentals most of the time. Your best bet is to jump onto apartments.com or rent.com to get an idea of pricing and then reach out to the individual apartment complexes that you are interested in.
What, no love for Midlo? 😉
Come one man, Midlo was the first one with Hallsley! 😅
@@LivingInRichmondVirginia true!!! You can tell I'm still new here. 😆😆
How about east end . You left this area out.
We don't love the East End nearly as much as we love the areas in this video. While the East End does offer more affordable housing and a good proximity to the City itself, there are a decent amount of cons related to the area which is why it is a more affordable area. I have been through nice neighborhoods and seen some really great houses in the area, but there aren't any neighborhoods that pop out to me that are nicer than the ones covered in this video. Now that is our two cents, and where someone chooses to live is a very personal choice based on a balance of budget, housing requirements, nearby amenities, and relativity. We will probably do some videos covering the East End in the future, but we feel that we have other areas with a better blend of compromise to cover first.
